Hiding in Hogwarts as a professor

Button button——

Leather shoes stepped on the smooth floor of Durmstrang Castle, and the bright moonlight of the summer night shone on the figure holding a cane.

His movements seemed careless, but every step was more determined than before.

Finally, with a thud, the cane hit the floor, and the man stood before a long-awaited portrait.

“You have changed more than I thought, Gellert.”

The night did not prevent the portrait of Halfon Mount from making its own voice, and Grindelwald did not care that he was standing here arrogantly.

Even in a school environment that doesn’t welcome him.

“But I heard that your temper has become even more violent. Isn’t it because you scolded the young couple who went out at night just now?”

Standing in front of the portrait, Grindelwald looked at the various furnishings of the castle with great interest, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

He has not been back here for nearly a hundred years since he was expelled, and the ancient portraits on the wall are the few memories he still retains.

“Ha.” Monte smiled contemptuously, not paying attention to Grindelwald lurking in the castle to observe his movements.

“Since your good students Teville and Cynthia left school, Durmstrang students can’t even come up with a reason for going out at night. They dare to say that they want to sneak into the kitchen for a midnight snack!”

Grindelwald withdrew his eyes with a strange expression. Mr. Monte simply admired the talents of Tver and Cynthia. Tver had used the same reason to sneak in…

This is also due to Durmstrang’s atmosphere of supremacy of the strong. With Tver’s night owl habits, he often bumped into professors during night walks, and he never received any punishment.

Of course, Grindelwald also enjoyed many privileges when he was in school, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to experiment with extremely threatening black magic under the nose of the professor!

“Hey,” Monte’s voice suddenly pulled Grindelwald out of his memory, “Have you been having a hard time in Nurmengard these past few years? Do you want to go back to Durmstrang and become the headmaster?”

Halfon Monte did not do this on the spur of the moment.

In fact, after learning that Tver’s teacher was Grindelwald, he paid close attention to Tver’s words and deeds.

If Tweel shows ambition similar to Grindelwald, then no matter how talented he is, Monte will still find ways to fire him!

But I never expected that Tver was not affected by Grindelwald at all!

In addition to having the same elegant demeanor and outstanding magical strength, the two of them have completely different ideological cores.

It can even be said that Monte can feel the tenderness in Tver’s heart that is incompatible with Durmstrang!

It was precisely based on this that he began to consider the possibility of Grindelwald, a former genius student, serving as the principal of Durmstrang!

To put it bluntly, as long as Grindelwald agrees not to incite students to work for him, Monte will oust the current principal who is worse than Karkaroff without saying a word!

Grindelwald was amused by this suggestion. He grinned silently and thought about it for a while, but in the end, Monte shook his head in disappointment.

“I still have some things to deal with now, and maybe I will seriously consider this invitation in the future.”

“oh?”

You can’t rush to find the principal. If Grindelwald can say that he will seriously consider it, Monte’s goal will have been achieved.

Therefore, he is now completely distracted by the “things” Grindelwald said.

“I think this is the reason why you returned to Durmstrang after so many years, right?”

When Grindelwald mentioned that he wanted to come to Durmstrang even if his identity was revealed, Grindelwald’s expression suddenly became serious.

“I came back here just to clarify a question, a question about Tver…”

His hand holding the cane couldn’t help but tighten, as if he wanted to pull out a magic wand on a portrait.

“How on earth did Turville travel hundreds of miles alone from the family estate in Hampshire to the old Gaunt house in Yorkshire for no reason before going to school at the age of eleven?!”

Yes, since Grindelwald realized that Tver’s layout was well planned, he has indeed relaxed a lot overall.

The trip to Hogwarts was originally to help him resolve the concerns that Dumbledore’s status as a Grindelwald student brought to him.

After this, he, or rather Tver, had only one last question that needed to be answered——

How did Tver touch the ring that Voldemort placed in Gaunt’s old house in the first place? !

At first, Grindelwald curiously asked Tver, but Tver refused and said that he could not remember. When he woke up, he had been infected with the curse and returned to the bed in the manor.

But this problem has always been lingering

In Grindelwald’s mind, it was just that the curse on the ring was more urgent. In order to help Tver extend his life, he temporarily put aside the exploration of this issue.

But things are different now. Tver has completely lifted the curse, so what happened back then is naturally of concern to Grindelwald.

Since Tver is his student, as a teacher, he naturally has to find a way to help solve his students’ worries!

Thinking of this, Grindelwald stared at the stunned Monte in the portrait.

There was no trace of what happened back then. Even if he searched the old Gaunt house, he could not find any person or thing that might have sent Tver there.

In order to explore this issue, he even quietly observed Tver’s parents and the elves who had been serving the Welfare family.

But found nothing.

This is also the reason why Grindelwald had to travel around Europe and remain silent for such a long time.

In the end, he could only rely on what Tver once mentioned inadvertently as the final clue.

“‘Stop so that he can see more clearly.’ These words should be the last words you said to Tver, right?” Grindelwald carefully watched Monte’s every expression.

This sentence has nothing to do with Tver encountering the ring. Although he always feels that the two things can be connected, there is no substantial evidence to prove this.

However, Monte’s silence seemed to confirm Grindelwald’s unreasonable speculation.

After a long time, Monte sighed helplessly.

“I don’t know who gave Tver such a vicious curse in the first place. This is a fact.”

“But I know one thing better than all of you. Regardless of whether there is a curse or not, Tver is being targeted by some existence…”

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened in fright, looking as if they had burst in the ancient portrait.

“In other words, no matter whether there is a curse or not, no matter which enemy is in front of you, it is the God of Death who wants to take Tver’s life!”
